The National Day Golden Week has come. I believe that countless car friends are ready to go to the motorcycle travel industry. Motorcycle culture has also reached a new climax under the promotion of the Internet in recent years. Although the motorcycle travelers are simple, one person, one car, and you can wear your luggage and get out with your equipment, the motorcycle travelers are actually an activity that coexists with benefits and risks. While enjoying unrestrained contact with nature, you also have to bear the risks on the road and the double pressure brought to your body and vehicles by long-distance driving. In order for all friends who are preparing to enjoy the fun of motorcycle travelers during the holidays, I will introduce to you the preparations and precautions that the motorcycle travelers should do before departure.

The standard equipment for the riders of the motorcycle brigade, the full set of riding equipment +ADV (the vehicle is Wuji 650DS); for the motorcycle brigade, the multi-traffic adaptive riding posture of the ADV model is more in line with the needs of long-distance riding, and the storage capacity after hanging three boxes has also been significantly improved; while the riders can handle the changing weather in October in a complete set of pulling suits, and the safety is better than that of ordinary street riding equipment.
helmet is the most critical component of driver safety equipment. In the Motorcycle, I first recommend the use of cross-section helmets. It first takes into account the convenience of the 3/4 helmet and the safety of the full helmet. It can lift the surface part at any time, which is practical and convenient. In addition, a tension helmet is also a good choice, but it should be noted that if the vehicle windshield area is not large enough, the brim of the tension helmet will bring huge wind resistance and noise.
9% of the helmets on the market come with push-pull sunglasses, which is also a very practical configuration during cycling; being able to replenish moisture at any time is also one of the reasons why people like helmets.
long-distance driving is recommended to assemble Bluetooth headsets for the helmet. In addition to listening to music, you can also team up with motorcycle friends who are traveling together to improve team riding efficiency.
The weather in October is high in the morning and evening, especially for northern motorcycle friends, it may be only 10 degrees in the morning and 25 degrees by noon. It is difficult for a glove to cover such a large temperature difference, so it is recommended to bring a pair of spring and summer gloves and a pair of autumn and winter gloves.
cycling boots are also very important for long-distance motorcycle trips. It is recommended to wear high-top cycling boots for long-distance cycling. It not only protects the ankles more fully, but also does not expose the ankles. Of course, if conditions permit, it is recommended to choose cycling boots with GORE-TEX waterproof fabric to ensure dryness and breathability in the shoes when it rains.
pull-up suit/long-distance riding multi-purpose vehicle suit is the first choice for motorcycles. Most pull-up suits on the market have good tear resistance. At the same time, the rich matching of protective gear and inner liner selection are also a major feature of this type of riding suit .
tension suit generally has two layers of inner liner, the windproof and waterproof inner liner in the left picture, and the warm cotton inner liner in the right picture.
If the cycling suit does not have strong waterproofness, you must bring a raincoat, and the size of the raincoat is one size larger than the cycling suit so that you can put on and take off quickly.
Preparation before departure - Equipment
Regarding the models selected by the brigade, it is recommended to choose ADV models or RVs, such as the Wuji 650DS and Chunfeng 650TR-G in the picture. Needless to say, the characteristics of ADVs are not only more important. In addition to the more adequate seating posture and wind resistance protection of large RVs during road trips, their capacity is also considered first-class.
If the travel route involves harsh road conditions or non-paved road requirements, the steel wire spoke wheels and long-travel suspension of ADV models are important guarantees for you to pass safely.
At the same time, the engine guard bar, engine guard plate and other configurations can also provide sufficient protection for the vehicle during long-distance travel.
Another point is that most ADV models are like SUVs, equipped with considerable windshields, which can provide limited windshield protection.
Of course, the "three boxes" configuration is an indispensable equipment for ADV in travel, and its box content can store most of the luggage and equipment to be used in travel.
The waterproof bag for motorcycles can greatly expand the storage capacity. With the hook locking point on the bag, the bag can be firmly fixed to the car.
Now more and more models have changed the 12V cigarette lighter interface to a USB charging port, which makes it impossible to use some high-power appliances. It is recommended that models without cigarette lighter interfaces have a direct battery rotation interface, which can at least meet the needs of the use of the inflatable pump.
Chain oil is a must-have supplement in the motorcycle brigade. During long-distance riding, you may encounter situations where you can ride hundreds or thousands of kilometers in a day. The road conditions are changing and complicated, and chain lubrication is particularly important. It is recommended to spray chain oil every other day. If the vehicle load is large, you can also choose heavy-load chain oil.
tire repair tools and air pumps need to be carried with you, and the probability of tire opening on non-urban roads is higher. It is particularly important to bring your own emergency tire repair tools and air pumps. Currently, there are many types of lithium-electric inflation pumps on the market, but the inflation efficiency is low, making it even more difficult to use on plateaus. It is recommended to carry a 12V electric inflation pump; tire repair tools and traditional "spicy strips" can perform simple emergency treatment for tire opening.
Before departure, the vehicle must be inspected. First, you need to observe the degree of wear of the tire. Tires close to the safety line or reach the safety line are recommended to replace them before the motorcycle. At the same time, check whether the tires have aging cracks and whether the tire pressure is sufficient. If the car has more equipment and meets the full load standard, it is recommended to increase the tire pressure by 20%-30%.
In addition to tire pressure, you must also check the brake pads and brake discs . If the brake pads are worn seriously, they also need to be replaced before departure. If the brake disc wear and gullies are more obvious, try to replace them before departure to ensure the service life of the brake pads.
water-cooled vehicle models should mainly observe whether the water level of the water tank meets the standard. If it cannot be met, please make up for it.
The last and most important point is to check the engine oil. First, check the engine oil capacity. If the engine oil has abnormal losses, it is recommended to go to the 4S store for inspection to check the reasons for the engine burning oil. If it is normal loss, it is recommended to replenish the engine oil or replace it all.
Preparation before departure - Vehicle part
Due to the limited storage capacity of motorcycles, many car friends hope to bring more and more equipment during motorcycle travel, not only carrying three boxes, but also carrying luggage bags. If the vehicle space is limited, it is not recommended that everyone place large luggage bags in the back seat as shown in the picture. This will not only occupy the driver's seat space, but also cause a burden on the driver's waist. In addition, when riding lightly off-road, the luggage bag in the back seat will affect the driver's front and rear center of gravity transfer, and in some cases it will also cause danger. Excessive load on the rear wheels of the vehicle is also one of the main reasons for death swing.
If it is a backpack + luggage bag + trunk, long-distance riding is definitely a nightmare for the waist.
If you have a mild off-road demand, you can choose to take off the trunk and place the luggage bag on the rear shelf. This is not only safe, but also retains the space for the driver to transfer the center of gravity from front and rear.
Even if you ride on a stand, luggage baggage night will not affect the driver.
Summary: In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, the most desirable thing about Motorcycles is the fun of long-distance riding. If you have an appointment with three or five friends to travel together, you can also double the experience during the trip.This article strives to make everyone fully prepared before departure. If any items are left behind, or there is a problem with the vehicle while riding, it can also be of great help to have a companion present. But please remember that in addition to enjoying the wind and freedom, Motorcycles also have to face corresponding risks. Long-distance riding requires a twelve-point spirit. Finally, I wish you all safely ride during the short holiday and have a pleasant time.
